Loose Outer Door Handle (Page 1/1)
Brent7088 AUG 05, 06:14 AM
I have an 86 GT auto with a driver's side outer door handle which has been loose for years. It's still fully functional; it just jiggles when opening the door. I decided to finally remove it to see what's going on..

Taking a close look, it looks like the 2 little channels that hold the metal rod/clip have been broken off on one end. Can anyone tell me if it would just be best to get a new one? Please see photos attached.

Thank you in advance

Post a 'Want to Buy' in the Mall. There should be plenty of good ones available.

Fiero store does a replacement. Not identical in appearance but works fine. I replaced mine with them.

Anything I might say is probably worth what you paid for it, so treat it accordingly!

Gall and Itl - thanks for the suggestions. I posted in the WTB.. I just like to keep things as close to stock as possible so would prefer a donor part. Any idea on how the Fiero Store handle is different from stock?

Buy two new ones, one for each door. You can get them from Advance, O'Reilly's, NAPA, etc. Probably about $20.00 each. They aren't exact matches which is why I said replace them both.
